It is only those who are in constant revolt that discover what is true, not the man who conforms, who follows some tradition. It is only when you are constantly inquiring, constantly observing, constantly learning, that you find truth, God, or love.
JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI, Think on These Things
The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.
ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER, Parerga and Paralipomena
The real discovery is the one which enables me to stop doing philosophy when I want to—the one that gives philosophy peace, so that it is no longer tormented by questions which bring itself into question.
LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN, Philosophical Investigations
All we discover has been with us since the sun began to roll; and much we discover, is not worth the discovering.
We are all humiliated by the sudden discovery of a fact which has existed very comfortably and perhaps been staring at us in private while we have been making up our world entirely without it.
GEORGE ELIOT, Middlemarch
Strong communities ... embrace change. New discoveries require us to think differently and approach things differently, to think anew.
TOM VILSACK, speech, Jan. 10, 2006
The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
MARCEL PROUST, "The Captive," Remembrance of Things Past
